Bumblebees spotted starting nests in winter in Scotland

Protectionists say that nests have been found to start the depth of winter due to climate change.

Charity Buglife said that active activists who work most in a nest, were spotted in Aberdeen during a mild season on Christmas brakes.

It said that in the previous survey, Bulmas and Honeybee were recorded between Christmas and New Year at places in Britain, including Highlands.

Buglife said that the nest was at the “high risk” of failing due to lack of flowers for bees to gather nectar and pollen, and there was a risk of return in cold weather.

Scientists have earlier said that climate was caused by change Widespread loss of bumble Worldwide.

Insects, a significant pollinatual, generally hibernate through winter in spring.

Christmas period Was unnecessarily lightBut since then it has been cold and icy season.

Buglife said that at least two of the 25 species of Britain’s bumbled had started the nest construction quickly.

Paul Hetrington of Charity said: “In 2019, Buglife conducted a bee survey for the New Year break on Christmas and was amazed at the consequences with Honeybee and Bumble found from Jersey to Jersey.

“This year, a colleague located in Aberdeen saw Bhanra, an active activist on a Christmas break.

“The fact is that active workers mean that not only the queens are awakened by hibernation, but they have gone to the extent of starting new nests.”

Shri Hatherington said that the lack of flowers and vintry weather had given up the danger of collapse of the nest and could kill bees.

He said: “If this happens, no new queens will be produced, which is very low to emerge in the spring, which feeds the fall known in bumbled.”

The status of Melder also inspired people to face less welcome welcome and ticks.

Small parasitic spider -like organisms are usually activated from early spring to late autumn.

Lime disease, a bacterial infection that causes a series of health problems, spreads in humans by cutting some ticks.

The Invertness was among the places where the insects were found to be active, one on December 28 in Woodland in the Nes Castle region of the city.

In winter, adults do not hibbet hibernate and instead shelter from low temperatures in long vegetation.

Shri Hethington said: “This means that they are still potentially active and the period around December 28 was relatively warm, a possible result of climate change has increased the tick activity in the same way, just as bumbled has seen on the wing across Scotland in this December.”

Charity Lime Disease Action said that it is related to the situation.

A spokesman said: “A widening of the period when ticks are active means that tick-related diseases can be contracted.”
